James Gunn Wanted Superman as the Bad Guy!?

The Suicide Squad director James Gunn says his movie almost featured the Man of Steel – as the bad guy.

Appearing on the Script Apart podcast, Gunn revealed that his original idea for the movie was to have the team fight Superman – which he believes would be “a very interesting story”. But he ultimately decided to have the team do battle with Starro the Conqueror – a monster he describes as “the perfect comic book character… absolutely ludicrous but he’s also very scary in his own way”.
